Chemistry 029 Placement

CHEM 029, Accelerated General Chemistry, provides an alternative to the mainline version of general chemistry, Basic Principles of Chemistry (CHEM 014 and CHEM 015). 

CHEM 029 is taught ONLY in the spring semester and requires the CHEM 029 placement diagnostic and permission of the instructor to enroll.

While there are no additional formal requirements, students who place into CHEM 029 generally have two (2) years of high school chemistry preparation.

The CHEM 029 placement diagnostic will be available starting on TBD, and will continue to be available until the class is filled. Students will need to register for the placement exam by emailing Professor Anna Wenzel (awenzel@scrippscollege.edu). Professor Wenzel will provide further instructions for taking the online placement diagnostic. Following completion of the placement diagnostic, Professor Wenzel will email each student about placement in CHEM 029 or CHEM 014 within 72 hours and will be available for consultation with the student and/or their academic advisor.
